World Upside Down | The Spirit-Led Church (Part 2)
 Acts 16:6-40

Acts 16:6-40

Jesus is always building His church in amazing ways and using the people who are in tune with His Spirit to help. The question is: are WE those kind of Spirit-led people?

Ref. Galatians 5:24-25

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” — Jim Elliot

Mark 8:34-36

3. The Holy Spirit leads God’s people to endure hardship with gospel-centered purpose and hope.

1 Peter 4:12, 1:6-7 // Habakkuk 3:17-18 // Philippians 1:12-14, 29

“What is perplexing is not that you and I encounter suffering in this life; what’s really perplexing is that Jesus suffered in our place. Why did the innocent One suffer for our sins? It’s unexplainable, but it’s ours to receive. The good news is that this same innocent One has indeed been executed for sinners like you and me, and then rose from the dead, thereby resolving the most serious issue and conflict in our lives.” — C.J. Mahaney 

4. Spirit-led people prioritize the well-being and longevity of the church above their own freedom and comfort.

Philippians 3:7-11
